The Daily Quote
“The U.S. Senate showed strong support for reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank in a test vote bolstering backers’ argument that a majority of Congress wants to keep its charter from expiring at the end of this month. The 31-65 vote Wednesday sought to keep alive a proposed amendment to extend the bank’s charter… ‘This will be a signal to the markets that the Senate is in support of the bank,’ Graham said before the vote. ‘This is not the last vote we’ll take on Ex-Im Bank.’… Twenty Republicans sided with Democrats in supporting the bank, including Kirk, Ayotte, John McCain of Arizona and Rob Portman of Ohio.” - Bloomberg, 6/10/2015
